Fireballs Won't Despawn

[MysteryTimeTrav]

An issue that I've found is that fire charges fired from dispensers when running the latest version of Movecraft Alpha and Movecraft Combat don't despawn after the set period of time and continue on infinitely. No error is produced in the server logs or on console when firing firecharges. Latest versions downloadable on GitHub were used.

I am unsure why this is happening, but I will look into it sometime.

Unfortunately I do not yet have a 1.14.4 test server running, so I am unable to verify this issue or debug it. If somebody wants to boot one up and test it, that would be appreciated.

[MysteryTimeTrav]

I’m running it on 1.16.5 so I’m not sure if it’s an issue with my version. Does anyone know if it works in earlier versions?

[TylerS1066]

Can you still replicate this problem?

I'm not noticing it on my 1.14.4 test server.

[MysteryTimeTrav]

it still happens in my 1.16.5 test

I’m gonna try regenerating the config file and testing different plugins to see if any other plugin is interfering with it

[TylerS1066]

Aha! I figured out the problem. If you don't have FireballTracking enabled it wouldn't despawn fireballs. You can either enable it, or try this dev build: https://github.com/TylerS1066/Movecraft-Combat/suites/3378351765/artifacts/79609275

I never noticed because I've always been running my servers with fireball tracking enabled.
